"I will ensure that Ulus sends a formal invitation when I return home," Kultur said. He followed the minister, and, when he stepped out of the elevator, he found an extremely spacious and ornate room. He was almost tempted to fly up near the roof, and his wings even fluttered a little. He wondered why a government room of humans needed this much room, until he looked back to the floor. It would appear that it took several hundreds of humans just to handle the day-to-day needs of government. This lest Kultur bemused; it took only eleven dragons to handle the government between clan meetings, and, even during clan meetings, no more than twenty-two dragons ever needed to meet at once for the national government. He wandered through the aisles for a bit, continuing to wonder how so many humans could ever pass any meaningful laws, before returning to the Prime Minister.

Sarah looked around in amazement "This is way bigger than the Grand Khural..." she mused verbally, Jaeger shook his head "The Grand Khural has no power Princess... this land lets the representatives of the people actually rule rather than act as their representative... but for the life of me I can't imagine why...." noticing the look of admonishment on the Princess' face at his rudeness as he had said this almost as a challenge to both her and Nursson.
Alfred smiled at his guests' wonder, however there was more to this than met the eye. "While it may look amazing, let me remind you this massive complex costs a fortune in Aureias to keep in top shape. Though, it is worth it; as this complex not only serves as our hall of government but Balamb's main agora, which is impressive as it is in the uptown region of the city. This complex is host to many things, such as the Chamber of the Court, where our Supreme Court is and where the main Ministry of Justice offices are, the Chamber of the Defenders, where the main offices of the Ministry of Defense are, this Chamber of the Parliament, the Cafeteria, the Ballroom, the National Supermall, and the Executive Apartments. The Executive Cabinet, made of the Ministers of Defense, Finance, Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs and Culture, (which is one ministry) and Justice, as well as myself and my Deputy Prime Minister, John Sirus, who previously occupied my office during the communist-democratic transition period and the infancy of this Republic." Having said all that, poor old Alfred took a deep breath.
Alfred laughed a bit. "Thank you. Now then, let's go down a floor, to the Executive Apartments. Since there are many, I'll give you a tour of the Prime Ministerial one, of which I currently occupy. Come along!" he said. Alfred then motioned for the party to go back out of the Chamber of the Parliament and into the hallway where the elevator was. The party got into the elevator and went down a floor, to Floor 11. They walked down the hallway to the big white and gold door with the label "PRIME MINISTER" above it and an official sign saying "CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY: ALFRED NURSSON" to the right of the door. Alfred fiddled with the lock and opened the door. "So, what do you think?" he said as the party walked in with him.
Alfred smirked. "That's just because you haven't seen the grand hall and the ballroom yet! Come along!" While the Grand Hall was not pictured the ballroom was. Crystal chandeliers were hung all over the ceiling and the room was very spacious, perfect for a ball. Moving onto the Great Hall, the place was colossal. There were luxurious chairs everywhere, a magnificent marble floor and gold leaf wallpaper, and a big flat screen TV in front of the couch. To the left was the kitchen, bedroom and service areas, and to the right was the huge movie theater and the bar. "So, how about now?" Alfred said jokingly.
"Hah, but we should not waste time in a mere apartment. Come along, we're going downstairs; the Hall of the Court is next." Alfred said. The party went down to the 10th floor, where the Hall of the Court was. After walking through a few hallways, they came upon the Hall of the Supreme Court, where the Committee of Supreme Justices, regulated by the Minister and Deputy Minister of Justice, worked.
